From your post it sounds to me as if the 4 y.o. is immature even for a 4 y.o. A lot of this could be developmental. He is repeating things he has probably heard like poopie diaper and bad girl. I would say that a sticker chart is probably not going to help this kid. When does it happen - how? What is going on around those times? The goodbye thing could be showing off or a way to get attention from home. Maybe he thinks if he calls you names mom will pull him. Maybe this has happened at previous daycares. If he is telling story and mom sides with him then that could easily be the case and then this is a learned behavior. Find out what bothers him besides spankens. Just try different things. Time outs; heads down for a rethink.
